Some times ago Russian and Ukrainian users noticed strange connection drops from Yandex. I can’t solve this problem, because I’m not Yandex employee.

Russian mirrors problems are mostly solved by introducing new mirror (Thanks to Yuri xnu!! Tsarev). This mirror have all openSUSE related stuff, 100 Mbit connection, 1Tb storage drive. After testing period now we can see that mirror is ready for main workload. So we adjust priorities and if you are try to access download.opensuse.org from Russian IP you should be redirected to this new mirror.

Due problems with foreign bandwidth we can’t serve Ukrainian users with Peter Poeml help we switch they directly to German mirrors.

If you have problems with Russian mirror accessing via download.opensuse.org please contact me directly. I’ll try to solve this

We are working on more openSUSE content availability to Russian users. Now we are ready to start openSUSE weekly news translation (check this wiki page). Last issue are available hereNow Im working on issue 41
issue 41 are available now.
With next issue I’ll try to synchronize publish date original and translated news.

If you want to join, please contact me.

I’m glad to announce the availability of repositories tree on Russian mirror.

We altered mirror structure. Now we have one server for repositories tree (later we are going to add Factory tree there.) And three servers for other static stuff (like repo and iso dirs). It means that 1-click install will try to get package from closest mirror (yandex). And it means that Russian users get significant improvement in download speed. After a week of hard work we make it real. Thanks to Peter Poeml (from suse) andArkady L. Shane (from yandex).
